SRILA PRABHUPADA BHAJAN KUTIR

SRI MAYAPUR CANDODAYA MANDIR, ISKCON MAYAPUR

On the left, just inside the main gate of Sri Mayapur Candodaya Mandir (ISKCON Mayapur), is the straw hut Srila Prabhupada stayed in from 1972 to 1976 while the first main buildings were being built. Srila Prabhupada first lived in a small hut near the campus’s main gate. That was the first structure built in ISKCON Sri Mayapur. It is still being maintained today according to Srila Prabhupada’s desire. He instructed devotees to perform Harinama Kirtana 24-hours a day throughout the year in Sri Mayapur. Srila Prabhupada’s hut became the place of nonstop Harinama Kirtana in 1990 during Gaura Purnima. Since then the singing of:

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE |

HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE ||

has continued Non-stop 24-hour despite huge floods during the years 1999, 2000 and 2006.

In this service take part 16 devotees. There are 8 shifts of 3 hrs each. 4 groups of 3 devotees each take part in each shift, once during the day and once at night. The Harinam Sankirtan department in ISKCON Mayapur is determined to continue this 24 hour Harinam Kirtana eternally and please Srila Prabhupada by this service.
